Will listen and try later It says inactive too correct? I think the OP of this post is trying to get people to fuck up their phones, google is a system app, you need to install a completely new rom for your phone if you want ot get google off it, and then you will be extremely limited in what you can do with it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78259396 United States 07/01/2020 05:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Google has already corrected this loophole here, it seems. I cannot remove the play store service update. It will disable my phone. Says that administrator will not allow action on this device. Then automatically moves the screen to find my phone...which is off in both google and settings....then displays that clixcking yes will disable, system, screen, microphone and sound. Be careful. Taking a hammer to this one anyway. Just a spare... Funny thing is, it states the sme exact thing on my wife and my son's newer phones. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78259396 United States 07/01/2020 06:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ok....i found my problem here. Google installed a 42Mb patch 2 days ago. It cannot be disabled or bypassed. Check yours and see if its above the original play store service file. That one was 300+Mb and allowed me to bypass the covid feature. The new patch, puts the feature back into the system and looks to be embedded into the IOS. Nice |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 78259396 United States 07/01/2020 06:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Would it work if we just DISABLE 'Find my phone' & let the covid app remain..?? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76578904 Doesn't look that way. Mine says the service is disabled but needs more files to operate. That could mean....google could force those systems to run when the time arises just by keeping a small patch file active. Just a guess...not an expert |

Is that what you see? I was able to click on the three dot menu and it did give me the option to uninstall. It's gone. Maybe I didn't have the latest one. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79082901 United States 07/01/2020 06:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How to tell if your phone has Quoting: Petrus Covid 19 installed AND HOW to remove it: Step 1. Go to Settings Step 2. Click on GOOGLE If you see COVID 19 at the top of the list you have it on your phone. How to remove it? Step 1. Click on PLAY STORE and then SETTINGS and change to DO NOT AUTOUPDATE APPS. Then go to your main screen and go to step 2. Step 2. Go to Settings then go to SECURITY AND LOCATION under Settings and shut off "FIND MY DEVICE". Step 3. This is the most important part. Make sure your phone is backed up. Go to settings again and then go to APPS AND NOTIFICATIONS (SOME PHONES WILL SAY APPLICATIONS) Step 4. Then click where it says SEE ALL APPS Step 5. Look for GooglePLAYservices and click that Then on the top right click the 3 vertical dots and click Uninstall updates (If you don't see the 3 vertical lines some phones require you to click ADVANCED OPTIONS there and then the vertical lines show up). This takes about 20 seconds so wait about 20 seconds. Now go back to step 1 and see if it's gone. Congratulations you just got rid of it! Let me know in comments section if you had covid 19 on your phone also and if it removed it. God bless! I would suggest NOT updating Google until the Scamdemic passes. You can update your other apps but I recommend don't update google. It is my personal opinion that the Scamdemic is being used to usher in the evil of socialism and the New World Order so I say this covid 19 app can go to hell where it belongs. This should be a CHOICE if you want this on your cell phone or not. thank you, OP!! |
mji71 User ID: 78767406 United States 07/01/2020 06:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's on Apple phones but I think it's on the iPhone 8 and newer under privacy health settings. There is an entire article on this being the first joint venture between the 2 companies. Quoting: Chuco 77285277 If you don't update your iPhone past iOS 13.4.1, then you will not have any of the COVID-19 contact tracing features. I refuse to update until this madness blows over.

Rogue bear poop User ID: 34713228 United States 07/01/2020 06:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | had to update Google Play and verify a back up. The second time I did it the Covid was gone ! seems if you are in google and tap anything it will come back so try not to do that. I don't use the search engine so I don't know if that will trigger it also. Last Edited by Rogue bear poop on 07/01/2020 07:12 PM |
